Never Never (Used) Land: Where Dreams are Made

Beartic gets Swift Swim through the Dream World, but no physical water attacks. That means its coverage is limited to Ice/Fighting/Ghost. It could be good on a rain team that needs bulky Grass-types eliminated (even though stuff like Gorebyss' and Ludicolo's Ice Beam do that just fine), but it probably won't be particularly great.
It got Aqua Jet as a new level-up move. It's not Aqua Tail (not that it has one), but it's physical alright.
 
Hm, so assuming Serperior leaves the tier, how well would his younger cousin Servine be able to replace his role as a Contrary user? Because Servine is more considerably weaker, slower, and more frail, I don't think it'll be able to do much without Eviolite.

Hm, looks like Tangela really improve a lot. With Synthesis, it's already impassable physical defense got improved. And I already was using it, so all I need to do is add the new move.
 
I've been pondering over a Vicreebel set.

Victreebel @ Salac Berry
Gluttony

Jolly
252 Att, 252 Spd

Swords Dance
Bullet Seed/Seed Bomb
Frustration
Sleep Powder

Under Salac, Vicreebel would reach over 300 speed with over 300 attack as well as a decent STAB move. Bullet Seed can KO through sturdy but is generally less powerful.

Also with the EV and nature Victreebel can even outspeed the likes of Adamant Braviary and put it sleep or OHKO it if Victrebel has a boost and SR is up. With 263 speed, Victreebel has one of the faster Sleep Powders available with an offensive prescence and the ability to start setting up right. With Magmortar gone next tier shift, I think this mon is a lot more dangerous, and arguably better than Vileplume who cannot really sweep.

Unfortunately, I think Sucker Punch would've sent it over the top, but it loses it with Gluttony.

Or you could just use chlorphyl, which would still allow you to use life orb, sucker punch, and higher speed anyway. So as cool as this set may seem, chlorphyl is generally a better niche because you can still use the stuff victreebel is already good at.
